Bengaluru: A court in Karnataka’s Kanakapura on Monday sent five cow vigilantes, including main accused Puneeth Kerehalli, to police custody for seven days in connection with a case in which a Muslim cattle trader was allegedly beaten to death for transporting cows and buffaloes illegally.
Judge Appanna Savadi pronounced the order after the accused were produced before him.
Karnataka police arrested the cow vigilantes who ran Raastra Rakshana Pade, from Rajasthan on April 5 – five days after the body of 35-year-old Idrees Pasha was found on April 1.
